<p>Why do Hapas (read: half asian/ half whites) hate asians so much? There is this Hapa guy at my school whos 16 and a half, and he thinks that just becuase he is "half-asian" he has a right to diss/make fun of asians, but at the same time, since he is also half-white, he calls asians names like chink or fried noodle or cr*ap like that...stuff he would never call asians if he were full asians. He uses the mentality of a white guy that he's better to make fun of them, but also the mentality of "since I'm asian, I get to make fun of asians."</p>
<p>He literally calls me fried rice every single day in Health class, right in front of the teacher, who doesn't give a care. Everyone thinks it is okay for him to do that since he's half-asian, yet he acts all superior since he's half white. He only hangs out with white people and only dates white girls, like all Hapas I've seen, but for some reason looks very asian and only slightly slighty white.</p>
<p>Also, he is the class clown so everyone thinks it's okay. Yet I know that he does sometimes try to be a gentlemen...I am thinking of grabbing the back of his shirt when nobodys around and surprising him and telling him to stop calling me that, uut although he has a slight amount of class I don't know if he will be one of those people who actually will stop...cuz I'm an (Asian) girl and he won't try to pick a fight with me since I'm female...</p>
<p>I am definantly not going to reason him him, what should I do he is so annoying. I need to call him something that'll make him feel uncofortable and make him stop. I need stronger stuff than "half breed"...</p>
<p>I used to know a four-year-oldish girl who really disliked Asians - well, it was less a dislike than a habit. Her mom was Chinese, and her father contributed the "white" part. I think her case had something to do with learned behaviors. When my family babysat her for a while, she said something along the lines of "You Chinese are all the same" - which sounded like something her father would have said to her mother. Apparently, though, her mother was an exception, and actually not the same. She was also under the impression that Caucasians are generally superior (which, to a little girl, means "prettier" and "smarter").</p>
<p>Aaaanyway, I'm just pointing out that it's not uncommon for a Hapa to be rude to Asians. I'm going to guess and say that your guy is probably suffering from some kind of identity crisis, and hurting others in the process.</p>

<p>Calling him names will only make things worse. You'll be sinking to his level.</p>
<p>Peer pressure is important particularly for teens, so I still think that if you and some others quietly tell him that he is making himself look bad by the name calling, he may then have the good sense to quit. You and others could point out that in calling Asians names, he's making himself and his Asian parent look bad since he is, of course half Asian and also looks Asian. </p>
<p>No need to yell, grab his shirt or or call him names back. That would just make you seem as immature as he is.</p>
<p>Call him out on it. Get in his face about it. Meet him out at the flag pole at 3 o'clock.</p>
<p>Or you can stoop down to his level. Call him half-baked dumpling, or chopstick (no 's'). He could either see you in another light and accept you as a friend, see how painful it is and stop, or hit you. >_></p>
